The way the story is written and how it takes you on a journey is incredible. You will be rooting for the main characters along the way.

Seeking a book club

Hi I'm Carly, a 41 year old that has recently found a love of reading again. I've been reading thrillers and my favourite authors are freida McFadden and Lisa jewell. I moved to Witham from Halstead in that dreaded year (2020) but due to being disabled and finding it hard to get out I haven't made many friends in the area. I would love to meet new people to chat to about books and other things and maybe discover a new author or two

The witchfinders sister

by Beth Underwood | Learn more and buy

It a book about Mathew Hopkins, told from the point of view of his fictional sister Alice. Although the book is fictional the author clearly spent a long time researching as it is full of facts. It is set in manningtree mostly but you visit lots of different places with the characters.
